With fluoride

Since the acetylenic proton is acidic, it often needs to be protected as a trialkylsilyl derivative. It is conveniently deprotected with fluoride ion. 

Monosubstitution of acetylene itself is not easy. Therefore, trimethylsilyl-acetylene (297)[ 202-206] is used as a protected acetylene. The coupling reaction of trimethylsilylacetylene (297) proceeds most efficiently in piperidine as a solvent[207]. After the coupling, the silyl group is removed by treatment with fluoride anion. Hexabromobenzene undergoes complete hexasubstitution with trimethylsilylacetylene to form hexaethynylbenzene (298) after desilylation in total yield of 28% for the six reactions[208,209]. The product was converted into tris(benzocyclobutadieno)benzene (299). Similarly, hexabutadiynylben-zene was prepared[210j. 

The extensive hydrolysis of protactinium in its V oxidation state makes the chemical investigation of protactinium extremely difficult. Ions of protactinium(V) must be held in solution as complexes, eg, with fluoride ion, to prevent hydrolysis. 

Nucleophilic Reactions. The strong electronegativity of fluorine results in the facile reaction of perfluoroepoxides with nucleophiles. These reactions comprise the majority of the reported reactions of this class of compounds. Nucleophilic attack on the epoxide ring takes place at the more highly substituted carbon atom to give ring-opened products. Fluorinated alkoxides are intermediates in these reactions and are in equiUbrium with fluoride ion and a perfluorocarbonyl compound. The process is illustrated by the reaction of methanol and HFPO to form methyl 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-methoxypropanoate (eq. 4). 

Hexafluoropropylene Oxide HFPO is the most important of the perfluoroepoxides and has been synthesized by almost all of the methods noted. Many attempts have been made to polymerize HFPO (6,8). The most successful has been the reaction of HFPO with fluoride ion at low temperature to give a series of oligomeric acid fluorides which have been end capped to yield stable fluids (eq. 11, where X = H,F). 

Coordination Complexes. The abiUty of the various oxidation states of Pu to form complex ions with simple hard ligands, such as oxygen, is, in order of decreasing stabiUty, Pu + > PuO " > Pu + > PuO Thus, Pu(Ill) forms relatively weak complexes with fluoride, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate (105), and stronger complexes with oxygen ligands (Lewis-base donors) such as carbonate, oxalate, and polycarboxylates, eg, citrate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (106). The complexation behavior of Pu(Ill) is quite similar to that of the light lanthanide(Ill) ions, particularly to Nd(Ill)... 

Complex salts of thorium fluorides have been generated by interaction of ThF with fluoride salts of aLkaU or other univalent cations under molten salt conditions. The general forms of these complexes are [ThF ] [15891 -02-8] ThFJ [1730048-0] and [ThF ] [56141-64-1], where typical countercations are LC, Na", K", Cs", NH" 4, and N2H" 3. Additional information on thorium fluorides can be found in the Hterature (81). 

Attempts have been made to categorize the interactions between metal ions and ligands. Whereas all metal ions interact more strongly with fluoride than with chloride in the gas phase, in aqueous solution a number of exceptions occur. Metal ions that have the normal (class a) aqueous solution stabiUty order of F Cl > Br > I also have N P > As > Sb and 0 S > Se > Te donor stabiUty order (13). The inverse (class b) aqueous solution stabiUty... 

Fluorides. Most woddwide reductions in dental decay can be ascribed to fluoride incorporation into drinking water, dentifrices, and mouth rinses. Numerous mechanisms have been described by which fluoride exerts a beneficial effect. Fluoride either reacts with tooth enamel to reduce its susceptibihty to dissolution in bacterial acids or interferes with the production of acid by bacterial within dental plaque. The multiple modes of action with fluoride may account for its remarkable effectiveness at concentrations far below those necessary with most therapeutic materials. Fluoride release from restorative dental materials foUow the same basic pattern. Fluoride is released in an initial short burst after placement of the material, and decreases rapidly to a low level of constant release. The constant low level release has been postulated to provide tooth protection by incorporation into tooth mineral. 

Gl ss-Ionomers. Glass-ionomers show fluoride release at levels that are usually higher than those found in composite materials. The fluoride is found within the aluminosihcate glass, which is melted with fluoride fluxes and ground to form powder filler. The fluoride is added as calcium fluoride [7789-75-5] aluminum fluoride [15098-87-0] and sodium fluoride [7681-49-4] in a combined proportion of approximately 20% by weight in the final powder (284,285).

The SEM ester was used to protect a carboxyl group where DCC-mediated esterification caused destruction of the substrate. It was formed from the acid and SEM chloride (THF, 0°, 80% yield) and was removed solvolytically. The ease of removal in this case was attributed to anchimeric assistance by the phosphate group. Normally SEM groups are cleaved by treatment with fluoride ion. Note that in this case the SEM group is removed considerably faster than the phenyl groups from the phosphate. ... 

The Dppe group was developed for carboxyl protection in peptide synthesis. It is formed from an N-protected amino acid and the alcohol (DCC, DMAP, 3-12 h, 0°, It).

All the rearranged products derived from (12) and (15) have been rationalized as arising by proton loss or reaction with fluoride ion of the respective homoallylic C-19 cations. The structures of the cations derived from (15) are represented by structures (20) to (24)." ... 

With very electrophilic olefins, an alternative hydrogen fluoride addition process is often preferred This process, involving reaction of the olefin with fluoride ion in the presence of a proton donor, is applicable to certain perhalogen ated alkenes [/] and substrates with other electron attracting groups attached to the double bond [i5, 36] (equations 4 and 5)... 

Electronegatively substituted acetylenes, such as dimethyl acetylenedicar-boxylate, do not react under normal conditions but will add the elements of hydrogen fluoride by reaction with fluoride ion (e g, CsF or tetraalkylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride) and a proton source under phase-transfer conditions [49, 50] (equation 8)... 

A variety of reagent combinations add fluorine and sulfur to fluonnated olefins. Typically the olefin is reacted with fluoride ion and a source of electrophilic sulfur, such as sulfur tetrafluonde[757,178,179, 7S0], alkyl or amino sulfur tnfluondes [757, 787],...

In contrast, additions of fluorine and carbon to fluormated olefins are widely investigated The best known processes involve reactions of olefins with fluoride ion to generate carbanionic intermediates [203] that are trapped in situ by carbon-based electrophiles. 

Other well-known reactions are those offluorinated olefins with fluoride ion and negatively substituted aromatic compounds leading to the formation of per-fiuoroalkylated aromatic compounds The reaction may be considered an amonic version of a Fnedel Crafts process and can result in introduction of one or several perfluoroalkyl substituents [/ /] Aromatic substrates include substituted and unsuhstiluled perfiuorobenzenes [J3l, 212, 213, 214], fiuorinated heterocycles [131, 203, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223],perchlorinated heterocycles [224] (equation 44), and other activated aromatic compounds [225] (equation 45) The fluonnated olefins can be linear or cyclic [208] (equation 46)... 

As a result, the electromotive force (EMF) of the cell is zero In the presence of fluoride ions, cerium(IV) forms a complex with fluoride ions that lowers the cerium(IV)-cerium(IIl) redox potential The inner half-cell is smaller, and so only 5 mL of cerium(IV)-cenum (III) solution is added To the external half-cell, 50 mL of the solution is added, but the EMF of the cell is still zero When 10 mL of the unknown fluonde solution is added to the inner half-cell, 100 mL of distilled water IS added to the external half-cell The solution in the external half-cell is mixed thoroughly by turning on the stirrer, and 0 5 M sodium fluonde solution is added from the microburet until the null point is reached The quantity of known fluonde m the titrant will be 10 times the quantity of the unknown fluoride sample, and so the microburet readings must be corrected prior to actual calculations... 

Direct analysis with the fluoride lon-selective electrode requires addition of total ionic strength adjustor buffer solution (TISAB) to the standard and to unknown samples Some advantages of this addition are that it provides a constant background ion strength, ties up interfenng cations such as aluminum or iron, which form a complex with fluoride ions, and maintains the pH between 5 0 and 5 5 According to the manufacturer s claim, reproducibility of direct electrode measurement IS 2 0%, and the accuracy for fluonde ion measurement is 0 2% [27]...

Et4N F , CH3CN, 48 h, reflux. TMSF and allene are formed in the cleavage reaction. These conditions are not compatible with phenyl phosphates, which are cleaved preferentially with fluoride.Cleavage of a bis TMSP phosphate results in the cleavage of only one of the TMSP groups. 

There is also clear evidence of a change from predominantly class-a to class-b metal charactristics (p. 909) in passing down this group. Whereas cobalt(III) forms few complexes with the heavier donor atoms of Groups 15 and 16, rhodium(III), and more especially iridium (III), coordinate readily with P-, As- and S-donor ligands. Compounds with Se- and even Te- are also known. Thus infrared. X-ray and nmr studies show that, in complexes such as [Co(NH3)4(NCS)2]" ", the NCS acts as an A -donor ligand, whereas in [M(SCN)6] (M = Rh, Ir) it is an 5-donor. Likewise in the hexahalogeno complex anions, [MX ] ", cobalt forms only that with fluoride, whereas rhodium forms them with all the halides except iodide, and iridium forms them with all except fluoride. 

TMS ethers can be removed by treatment with fluoride ion as well as by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. Propose a mechanism for the reaction of cyclohexyl TMS ether with LiF. Fluorotrimethylsilane is a product. 

Due to the above requirements, typical optically-transparent materials, such as oxides (glass, quartz, alumina, zirconium oxide etc.) and halides (sodium chloride, lithium fluoride, calcium fluoride, potassium bromide, cesium bromide etc.) are usually unsuitable for use with fluoride melts. Therefore, no standard procedure exists at present for the spectral investigation of fluoride melts, and an original apparatus must be created especially for each particular case. 

The opposite process, i.e. pouring the strip solution into the ammonia solution, significantly reduces the fluorine concentration in the hydroxides formed. Bludssus et al. [495] developed a process comprising the introduction of tantalum- or niobium-containing acid solution to an ammonia solution until achieving pH = 9. It is reported that this method enables the production of tantalum or niobium hydroxides with fluoride contents as low as 0.5% wt. with...
